Movie Reviews

TIME Magazine - 8/10 by James AgeeAside from an overdose of jokes about Brooklyn, everything about the picture is not only unobjectionable but, in a modest way, definitely enjoyable.
User Review - 10/10 by Nate T"Brother-in-Lawford" (Peter Lawford), Jimmy Durante and Frank Sinatra in an agreeable time filler.
User Review - 10/10 by Jeannette WPre-Rat Pack Peter Lawford and Frank. Excellent film.
User Review - 8/10 by Greg WThe story is solid, the musical numbers are grand, and Jimmy Durante and Frank Sinatra are amazing together. It's not the most masterful of musicals, but it's great great fun, and any fan of Frankie will enjoy it.
User Review - 6/10 by Michael TPleasant Frank Sinatra/MGM musical has a simple plot but some wonderful Jule Styne/Sammy Cahn songs including "Time After Time," "I Believe" and "It's the Same Old Dream."
User Review - 6/10 by Elizabeth NMinor MGM musical with the usual lightweight framework providing the stars a chance to break out in song. If you enjoy that type of movie than this will be a pleasant diversion especially since it introduced the beautiful ballad *Time After Time" which is performed in various versions several times throughout the film. Sinatra and Grayson are in fine voice and Durante his usual wisecracking somewhat befuddled self. Unfortunately Gloria Grahame although prominently billed is in and out of the picture after the first five minutes.
User Review - 6/10 by Neil ODespite a paper thin plot, this is a good Sinatra vehicle that features several great songs from Sammy Cahn and Julie Styne (The Brooklyn Bridge/Time After Time/It's The Same Old Dream) and a great supporting cast of Jimmy Durante, Katheryn Grayson and Peter Lawford. Filmed in black-and-white, and featuring a young, but uncredited, Andre Previn on the piano, this was Sinatra's third film for M.G.M. The remarkable thing is how rich Sinatra's voice is. Aged 32 and on the cusp of his great breakthrough at Capitol Records, the voice doesn't seem to fit the scrawny young fellow singing.
User Review - 6/10 by Dawn KDurante is his typical wonderful self. Sinatra convincing. Peter Lawford as Lawford-esque as he always was. The music is fun and, if it weren't interrupted by unneeded musical numbers then it would be fine.
